The Spokane Police Department (SPD) successfully managed a protest following the Pride Parade on June 14, 2025, in Spokane's Riverfront Park. The department maintained open communication with protest organizers throughout the day, which contributed to the event's peaceful nature. However, as the crowd grew to thousands, officers issued multiple warnings to remain within designated areas. By 8:44 p. m.
, SPD issued dispersal orders due to continued roadway obstructions, prompting 11 arrests for failure to comply. One of those arrested also faced charges for malicious mischief related to vandalism. Chief Kevin Hall stated that the SPD remains committed to balancing the right to protest with public safety. Matthew Danielson of Spokane Pride reported that the event went as planned, ensuring a joyful atmosphere. Despite some misinformation, SPD confirmed that no curfew was imposed during the event.
